The people of Buncombe county
that is, the progressive element-are
very much in earnest about their rail
way schemes, and desire to vote liberal
appropriations to various railways
There is no doubt that railways have
made Asheville what it is and that more
are needed. A prominent gentleman
from. that place said yesterday that he
feared the measures would not be car
RED when the vote came to be held. 1t
is to be hoped that his fears are not
well founded. The mass-meeting last
Saturday in the interest of the railways
was great success. Some persons
claim that the sentiment of the ma
jority of the people is highly favorable,
and that the building OF the roads Is au
assured fact. The extension of the
Carolina Central from Rutherfordton to
Ashevile is unquestionably very i'm
Tortant matter.
twenty-five thousand dollars in the
bonds of Murfreesboro' township have
been issued by the commissioners of
Hertford county and the Murfreesboro'
Railway Company. Some months
since that amount was voted by the
people as n subscription to that road.

whom the Governor has appointed to

representative farmers: Il. NJ. Holt, Of
Alamance S. b. Alexander, Of Meek
lenburg Henry Wahab, of Hyde ;
Elias Carr, of FIT Daniel N. McKOy,
of Harnett; w. A. Lash, of Stokes
A. McIver, OF Orange; w. II. Smith,
of Arson j. ID. Hodge, of Davie ;
Charles Cook, of Ashe: j. Z. Wells. of
Buncombe.
The steamer Annie, of the Eastern
Carolina Dispatch Line, which had
such an experience in the August storm
near the mouth Of Neuse river, and was
so cleverly saved by the Baker Wreck
ing Company, of Norfolk, yesterday
begun her regular trips between New
berpe and Elizabeth City. The Annie
was blown ashore at Cherry Point, and
was really high and dry. A great num-
her of men were put at work, canal
WAS cut, and she was thus safely floate1.
The laws of this State in regard to
the inspection, control, &c, of COM
mercial fertilizers are, as has been
stated, about to be adopted by Georgia.
They may be adopted by Texas also.
The Commissioner of Agriculture of
that State is in correspondence with
Commissioner Robinson, of this State,
in regard to the matter.
The reported discoveries OF good
gold ore near the Wake county line do
not appear to excite the people to any
extent or to arouse languid interest
The people in this section are of course
very ignorant of such matters, but the
practical miner who discovered the
gold saws it is q valuable "find."
A considerable force of laborers has
begun work at the Site Fair-Grounds,
particularly on the race. course.
The State Exposition building at the
Fair. Grounds is fast becoming a regular
wreck. The patent sheathing of its
roof has decayed or blown away, and
the interior is a mass of moist planks.
Unless speedily torn down the great
building viii hardly be worth anything.
In two more years it will begin to fall
in and 80 absolutely to pieces. All
idea of holding another exhibition APP
pears, unfortunately, to have been aban-
doned. IL another were held, with
